They should have encouraged you to smile in swimsuit pictures. Your smile lights up your face and I think would be an asset to any modeling job. I hate to tell you but at 82 I am still making food promises to myself and then sometimes I just say Screw it I am 82 I am eating ice cream, cookies, chocolate etc. Austin, Tx

So “in your sixties you better be prepared to shake a bun.” Well I’m in my seventies and have to shake both my buns. I just wish I had your determination! I do try though. Mainly because I grew tired of stepping on my scale and hearing it scream “I’m not programmed for numbers that high.”

Judging from the new photos you shared, you rock 65 and beyond.

wow congratulations on determination and self sacrifice - an attribute I am not known for regarding food. Your body is what most women admire at that precious age but few attain because temptation is greater than the accomplishment. best luck in your new career.

I think your career path is definitely tricky. I often offer overly liberal advice - but on that, I’m plum lacking advice.

In law I’m pretty certain this state position is my last - it’s not that I’m not very good at it. I am VERY good at investigating and analyzing- but the world doesn’t seem to value depth, accuracy and wisdom. Law is no different. So after this road I likely will look at non-law. Scary to see one’s career pathway’s end. I hope Hallmark and other production entities see wisdom in your career. You rock your skills .. I love seeing you in acting since you come across authentically. But I know that Hollywood doesn’t always think viewers want depth. We do ..

I think you help your readers also see the truth of aging. We all age even if many try to hide that reality. Authenticity… still is the most charming of life. You still shine in a beautiful light.

You look great in a two-piece! I'm the same age, but not the same waistline...I'm motivated to get out my yoga DVDs.

I'm sure you'll get to model some great clothes, which I'll want to buy, but not everything wool works in Southern California. I think you should start your own line of "older" glam make-up...I'd buy that, too, in anticipation of looking as glam as you do channeling Marilyn Monroe.
